Rack-mounting Two Lynx II Units
This assembly must be done with power off, and preferably with no cables connected to
the Lynx II unit(s). It is best to pre-assemble these parts on a bench and install the joined
items as a unit into your equipment rack.
Make sure to:
• Remove and discard the rubber feet from the bottom of the Lynx II unit if installed.
• Remove the contents of the Rack Mount Kit from its packing material.
• Use the proper tools. You will need an Allen Wrench (4 mm or 5/32") and a #2
Phillips screwdriver.
• Use the mounting hardware from your rack system to mount the joined components
into your rack.
You will join two Lynx II units’ side-by-side. Note the orientation of the blank rack, it will
be positioned so the bracket handles are on the outside as shown in Figure 85.
